this bciniglto allow the keys F to give motion to thelileveriH'ntter the type-wheel isstopped. To effect thc,-

movement ofthis lever H I employ the swinging frame K, uctcdupon'by the wires P, that rise above the keys F and are guided in the bar P, there being u link, J, that connects the 4swinging frame K und lever H. The

surfaceof soft mutex-.inl is formed by a. layer of wzix', clay, or other imprcssible substance, which,ifor convenience of handling, shoulilbe upon nshcet,ofinetalorsmilur material. This is plnccd upon thebed Sfandheld in position by any suitable clamps'or guides; The bed Scan be moved forward or backward as lincnttp'r` line is composed; and 'for this purpose I make use of the-wheel U and spring-pani U', acting to set end hold-thc hed S by the rock V, the bed'S being moved by hand phen the pau'l Uf is drawn back, ,The bed S slides transversely upon the bed S, supported upon the table-T, that-maybe raised or' lowered by screws so as to adjust the depth of impression, The ruck A. extends ,from the 'bedSf to the geur-Wheel Z, undy ndjacent thereto is s frictioni Wheel, P5', actuatef'is given ,dstnnce'egch 'tmooneof the keys F is depressed so v un to more'Y the bed S and the surface' of soft meter-inl the distencof.neccssnry-for properly reeeivingvthe nexttyp'c impressed; W is ai-lov'r upon a fulcrum,1X,and its rearndis formed asa sprin that rests upon thoswinging frnmoK. Y is a lever` with'its fulcrnm at M2, placed ,beneath the forward end `of the lever W, and connected bythe linkI fl. with the friction-peni S3, that acts upomthe wheel to give motion to' the, same and tothe whcclZ, rack A', and bed' S when the frame K is raised-bydcprcssiug either pi the keysF. Thbend of the lever W projects us a blankkey, so that the surface of soft .metal can be moved vlfor. spacing the words orjustifying even when the keys F nre not' uctedlon.Y If these pnrts only were employed the motion given to the` bed S, each'depression of th'ekcys F, would-be uniform, butos some types require wider spaces than others so proportion the parts that thelever W, if uncheeked'in its motion,'\vould movetho bed S suilcient for the ividesttypc, and I employ the-spacer Ez,

that is formed ns ablock with notches or steps, und is givenfn'. motion" 'transverselybf the. lever W, so that the I lever W is `arrested zit-the proper point eccording to the space required for'thc particular letter. by coming down upon the proper notch or portion of thespacer Ez.' A This spacer Ez is actuated by n lever, F1, on'a fulcrum, 02,1

ond the bock end of this-lever F2 is connected with a bar, B, that isplnc'ed below the but P, and slides laterally "beneath said bar P2 in the end supportsiCi. In order to giveLm'otion'to this'bar Iii-and through the lever F tothe spacer E2, I employ the rodsI and put on the side of said rods projections, osseenlin iig. 1. The spacer E, in 'its usual position, stands so that o. n 'idth of space adapted to the types mostl generally used will be the result of depressing the keys F that do not have any projection on the correspondngwires vP; cndhencc,` for narrow letters, the blocks on P are located so as to vmove the bar'B one wnyand for widen types tbcl otherwdy,t o

increase or decrease themotion allowed to thclever vW, und, by consequence, the movement given to the bed S carrying the surfnceot soft meter-inl. The springs 8 act to keep the bur Bi nud spncetgEf in its 'normal position. It will noivbe understood that'on depressing one ofthe keys F lthespuecr Es is mv'cdllf necessary. The lever W'is then moved and places vthe bed S in the proper position for` roccivingthoimpress'of n type. The wire E nrreststhe barrel C et the point to stop the correct letter, corrcsponding.to thokey struck. vertically below the axis B, und the further movement of-the key F causes the impression of. vthat type lin thc surface ofsnft materiel.

What I claim, and desire to secure by'Lctters Patent, is i. y i y 1. A wheel receiving, in radial grooves, movnble types, in combination with nlever and with projections on said wheel substantially :is sot forth, whereby the lcverthnt moves the type is also mode io accurately ndiust the wheel andihold it while the type is being impressed, as `sci: forth. f

2. I claini o vertical,wheclcarryingmovable types plnced radially, and constructed substantially in the manner spccii'ilbd( V- 3. I clnim the bym-el- C, .in combination with the type-wheel A and keys I",substantin.llv as `und for the purposes set 4forth.

4. I claim the feed-,Wheel Z, rock A, beds S and S, constructed and o c'rntcd in substnntinll the manner t and for the purposes set forth.

5. I claim the spacing-block E1 ond its actuatingmechanism, applied substantially in the manner o nd for the purppscs set forth.

' 6L I claim the lever W iu combinntion with the spacing-block E S and feeding mechanism, sub-stnntia'lly as i specified. v v

7. I claim u. contract-ile bund to draw the typesbaclc to` place in the type-wheel, ns set iortli.
